Summer Time!!!

Oi bloggers, so its been a looooooong while since I got time to do a lil update for all of you, I'm really sorry, but the boys went away to Pataya (Thailand) for the RC World Champs. In my opinion the team did well, they represented, learnt a few new things and well came home with some notches on the preverbial belt.

Since then we have been Cooking, not just in the sense of being busy, IT's Summer in South Africa! HOT HOT HOT Time to Play OUTSIDE!!! Sunshine, braai's, beer & fun!

So let me fill you in:

The guys came back from Thailand, exhausted,happy and feeling rather proud of their experience, fortunately we (Chris and I) did not burn down the shop while the boys were away. Actually I even sold a car and heli's (who would of thunk). I think boss owes us our noddy badges for our good work, hehehehehe.

The boys caught up quickly and jumped straight into the Christmas spirit. Boss went out and did the shopping for the decorations, high-jacked the lil green LED Christmas tree from under his wifes nose and lets not forget the HO HO HO Reeth and the lights we have dangling all over the place. Even our doorbell ringer got changed to a feastive tune... So Jingle Bells all the way!!!!

On top of that we got ourselves published in the FHM magazine, the Sandton Chronical and a few other hot media tools... WOW Business is booming! The Christmas shoppers(new and old) have really come to the party and have been spending like crazy. I think they come here just to see how this team functions under pressure, but who are we to complain.

We love what we do and we are passionate about RC, what more do we need?

We have been moving MiniX heli's like hot cakes, the new EB4 range hit the shelf and dissappeared before we could even test drive one for ourselves. The Monster trucks moved faster than I could process them. Belt CP's, Traxxas Revo's, Lama's you name it, we have it, either on the shelf, on order or leaving the shop to make some "kid" real happy!!!!

Hee Hee Hee, well it's time for me to get back to the real world, the shop floor is once again filled with the eternal children (yes men I'm talking about you) so I have to put on my prettiest girl smile and make some boys happy!

Come visit we would love to see you

See Ya
